On April 18, 1961 in the Pinar del Rio province, two Americans hired by the CIA, Angus K. McNair and Howard F. Anderson were executed along with seven Cubans.
April-October 1961 hundreds of Cubans are executed. The invasion provoked the Cuban government to imprison and execute any resistance to Fidel Castro and his Communist government.
Students, ex-Battista supporters and soldiers, and underground members of the Cuban Resistance were rounded up and killed.
1,204 Brigade 2506 members were captured in the aftermath of the invasion. In May, 1961 Castro announces he will exchange the remaining prisoners for 500 farming tractors. He later changed the ransom to $28 million.
